COP28 President, Sultan Al Jaber of UAE, which holds the Presidency this year, denied that they were using the climate talks as an opportunity to strike oil and gas deals.
The COP28 team of UAE had plans to discuss fossil fuel deals with 15 nations, the Centre for Climate Reporting and BBC reported on Sunday, based on briefing documents seen by journalists. But Al Jaber denied this without getting into the details of the very specific deals BBC cited based on the documents.
“I’ll be very clear, crystal clear, for you, for everyone in the room and for those online. These allegations are false, not true, incorrect, and are not accurate.
